"Because of the high temperature and drought weather in the past few days, in Linchuan City, Chengkou County, near Longyuan Village, there was a mountain fire, and now the fire is serious, our city is highly concerned about this, and has dispatched relevant organizations, and our station will continue to follow up on the follow-up situation."

The fire has been burning for many hours, but it has not been able to be extinguished, which has caused many concerns.

Even the continuous dispatch of support, the continuous influx of manpower and materials could not stop the wildfires.

In the face of natural disasters, the power of human beings seems so small.

The fire has already caused some casualties, and most of the firefighters carried down from the front line are due to the sudden change in the direction of the wildfire.

The fire burned himself, and the teammates around him couldn't react at all, and the burn area was as high as 70%, which was okay.

Others were engulfed in flames, and in the end, only a charred corpse remained, and it was too late to rescue them.

These are their teammates who were born and died, and they turned into char in the blink of an eye, and all the firefighters felt very uncomfortable when they saw this scene.

Before tears were shed, they were instantly evaporated by the high temperature in the air, leaving only a tear stain.

Everyone's eyes were full of sorrow and heaviness.

But they don't have time to grieve because there are important things waiting for them to do.

Exhaustion, heat, toxic smoke, and fire threatened them constantly, but the venerable firefighters did not flinch, not even frowning.

The ignition tactics failed to stop the fire, and the firefighters have exhausted all means to stop the fire from spreading in this direction.

Once the fire burns, it is unstoppable.

According to the information provided by the meteorological officer, the wind direction is now favorable, and if it is not controlled, it is only a matter of time before it burns to the foot of the mountain.

There is not much time left for them, and they should never underestimate the speed at which the fire burns, let alone the harm it causes.

Qian Qixue felt heavy, "Now organize some people to evacuate the villagers below, and the remaining firefighters will continue to fight to buy more time for the transfer of villagers." ”

Even if you know it's useless, you can't give up until the last minute, what if there is a miracle?

If even they retreated, wouldn't they have completely abandoned this mountain range!

Soon the news reached the bottom of the mountain, and everyone was stunned.

"What, to transfer? Is it so serious? ”

"Is the fire really going to burn down? Is there no other way? ”

The village chief couldn't believe it, Longyuan Village relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, and he had lived here for most of his life, and he was still a little uncomfortable to leave.

Not only him, but also other villagers.

But natural disasters are ruthless, and they have no choice, time is urgent, they can only quickly pack their things.

"Everyone quickly packed some important belongings, don't bring too much, so as not to have mobility problems, and leave with the firefighters."

The loudspeakers in the village played on a loop, and the village chief also sent people to go door-to-door to make notices, and it was important to be sure that all the notices were in place.

The villagers who received the news were like a bolt from the blue.

"We're really leaving."

"If you don't go, you can't go, the firefighter said that the fire will burn to the foot of the mountain at any time, and if you don't leave, we will turn into coke."

"At the beginning, we survived the geological disasters such as mudslides and landslides, but I didn't expect to have to leave because of today's wildfires."

"How can those be compared with mountain fires, they all say that trees move to death, people move to live, leave and leave, this is also a last resort."

While the villagers were talking, they hurried back to pack their things.

Hu Xiaocao's mother and daughter were surrounded by four walls, and there was nothing to clean up, so the woman solemnly put the mountain god tablet in the baggage.

Hu Xiaocao patted his head and reminded loudly: "Mom still has the statue of the god in the mountain temple." ”

The mountain temple was at the foot of the mountain, and there was some danger there, and the village chief and the firefighters did not allow anyone to approach, and the woman was a little hesitant.

But if the fire really burned down the mountain, the mountain temple would bear the brunt of it, and it would not be burned down.

"Okay, let's get the idol out of here."

They can't take the temple away, but the idols are still okay.

When their lives were at stake, the others did not dare to delay, and quickly packed up their things, all of which were valuable, and large bags and small bags gathered at the entrance of the village.

There are even people who bring out the pots and pans, chickens and ducks at home.

The village chief was a little crying and laughing, "Sister of the Sun family, we are going to flee, what are you doing with these." ”

The one he named was an aunt who was a little short and fat, and when she saw that everyone was staring at her, she was a little embarrassed, and said with a sneering expression: "Isn't it reluctant." ”

Everyone knows that when the fire really burns down, people can be moved, but many livestock cannot be moved, and for the villagers, it is simply a heavy loss.

It means that the fruits of most of their life's hard work are gone.

Who doesn't feel distressed?

When I think of those crops, they have been eating for generations, but under the fire, I am afraid they will all turn into a pile of ashes.

The village chief shook his head, "No, if everyone is like you, bring a little here, bring a little there, we can't leave, and the car can't fit it." ”

Aunt Sun showed a painful expression on her face, but she still listened to the village chief's words and put down the chickens and ducks.

Soon a group of people were almost cleaned up, and when they looked around, it always felt like something was missing.

"Come here, the car is coming soon, don't miss anyone."

With such a little fame, I found that the mother and daughter of the Hu family were missing.

"It's strange, why aren't the Hu sisters and Xiaocao here."

"I passed by their door before, shouted a few times, and there was no one inside, and I thought they had already left."

"Why did they drop the chain at the critical moment, the car is about to come, what are they doing."

Now there will be no one to be found, and everyone is holding things in their hands, and it is inconvenient, so they are almost too busy to take care of themselves.

Just when everyone was anxious, Hu Xiaocao's mother and daughter finally came late.

The village chief was overjoyed, "What are you doing here, everyone still thinks that you are in danger, and you are about to break down." ”

Hu Xiaocao seemed to be holding something in his hand, covering it with a cloth, with a cautious expression.

The woman was a little embarrassed to apologize, "I'm sorry for the trouble for everyone, let's go get the idol in the mountain temple." ”

The temple was destroyed, and it could be rebuilt in a different place, but the statue of the god was pinched out by Hu Xiaocao himself, and it took so long.

Looking at the idol in Hu Xiaocao's hand, the villagers were a little silent for a while.

No wonder the mountain gods would bless the mother and daughter, and when it came to piety, all of them were not comparable together.

In the face of great calamity, they can still think of the god statue, and this feeling and attitude are really valuable.

The village chief didn't say anything more, and sighed faintly, "I hope that the mountain god really has a spirit and can come to a heavy rain to quell this disaster." ”

Everyone was reluctant, looking at the village in front of them, as long as they thought that it would soon be turned into a puddle of ashes, and no one could stand it.

Some of the villagers' eyes were red, and they turned around three times at a time.

"Let us take a few more looks, maybe we won't see it again."

"My father and my grandmother both grew up in the village, but I didn't expect me to leave now."

"And the big tree in the center of the village, it is almost a hundred years old, it has witnessed the growth of generations of people in our village, and I don't know if I can see it when I come back."

"What are you thinking, such a big fire, everything will burn you to ashes."

"Alas, God is ruthless, let us farmers leave the land on which we depend, what can we do in the future."

"At best, the government is not going to sit idly by."

Looking at the low mood of the villagers, the village chief cheered up and encouraged: "I only said that the mountain fire may burn down, but I don't say that it will definitely burn, maybe there will be a miracle." ”

The crowd hung their heads, "What a miracle can it be." ”

"Village Chief, I know you're comforting us."

"Forget it, such a big fire, it's okay to be able to save your life, as long as we are still there, work together to rebuild our homes!"

Although he said so, everyone's expressions were already dazed, and there were only a few sporadic voices, responding to the words of the village chief.

It's not easy for anyone to leave the land where they live, but there's no way around it.

In addition to Longyuan Village, several neighboring villages will also be transferred.

The evacuation of the people at the foot of the mountain is proceeding in an orderly manner, at least there are no casualties among these people.

But the situation on the mountain is not optimistic, and now the casualties are as high as dozens, and dozens more have been lost.

When Qian Qixue learned of this situation, he immediately led the personnel to launch a search and rescue activity, which was dozens of fresh lives, and he couldn't just give up.

"Captain, no, the fire ahead is too big, if we rush in, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back."

Qian Qixue's eyes were red, and the beads of sweat in the protective suit were like rain, but they evaporated in an instant, "Those are my brothers, do you want me to watch them die." ”

"They must still be alive now, if we give up, then these people really can't come back!"

"I brought them up the mountain, and now I'm going to bring them back!"

"We saved so many people, but if we didn't even save our own teammates, how could we match the clothes on our bodies!"

Although human nature has many weaknesses, such as timidity, greed for money and lust, there are also many shining points, such as in this group of firefighters.

You can see the courage to move forward without fear of hardships and dangers, they are always not afraid of death threats, sweating, and fighting on the front line.

Seeing that the people around him were going to say something, Qian Qixue had already made up his mind, "You don't have to persuade me anymore." ”

"Captain, I mean, we can take this route, the fire here is small, the danger is relatively low, and the last signal they sent is here."

Looking at the united looks of his companions, Qian Qixue's tears flashed, "Okay! ”

He led a small army to set off from the trail, where there were few dead branches and leaves, and there were not many combustibles, so the situation was relatively good.

As it deepened, the fire showed signs of getting bigger, and the smoke billowed inside, and they finally saw a bright orange yellow.

Although it became a little dull under the smoke and fire, at least life was unharmed.

"Captain, why are you here?"

Seeing the arrival of Qian Qixue and others, everyone was a little surprised.

"I'm here to take you home!"

This sentence is heavy, and it seems to contain thousands of weights, giving them a heavy blow to their hearts.

Hearing this, everyone was almost moved to tears, it turned out that there was something wrong with their equipment, and the walkie-talkie used for communication was accidentally lost in the fire.

It can be said that it is struggling, which has caused the current situation.

Fortunately, Qian Qixue thought of the predicament they were facing, brought new equipment, and after putting on the poisoning mask again, their condition was really much better.

"We can't delay any longer, let's get out of here."

The crowd nodded.

However, at this moment, a sharp change occurred.

"Click—"

Accompanied by the sound of dead branches falling.

A big tree more than half a person tall slammed down towards the place where Qian Qixue was.

When the others saw such a scene, they were almost dumbfounded, "Captain, be careful!" ”

Fortunately, one of the teammates reacted in time and hurriedly pounced on Qian Qixue, and the two of them were able to escape.

The tree almost grazed their shoulders, and if it pressed on the two of them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Everyone was apprehensive, and hurriedly helped the two of them up, "Are you okay?" ”

Qian Qixue shook his head He was fine, only a slight bruise, and the teammates who had just pounced were not so lucky, after the big tree fell, a lot of sparks with dead branches and leaves were splashed on his body.

Although there were some burns, fortunately they were not particularly serious.

Qian Qixue asked with concern: "Can you still go?" ”

The firefighter nodded, "Captain, you underestimate me too much, this little injury is fine." ”

He grinned in pain, but he still didn't want his teammates to worry.

The sound of crackling was endless, and in the eyes of everyone, it was undoubtedly the footsteps of death.

At this moment, the direction of the wind changed suddenly, and the fire also came up, and the tongue of fire swept up, devouring everything with the momentum of destroying decay.

Qian Qixue looked at such a scene and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Along the way, many large trees are crumbling and may fall at any time, bringing great difficulties to their escape routes.

But the fire is getting bigger and bigger, looking at the big tree in front of you, this is the path to leave, but now it is blocked by the big tree, and it is impossible to cross the past.

The trail not far away also seemed to be submerged in a sea of fire, and the flames were so bright that they drowned out the escape path.

Everyone couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, "Obviously, when we first came, this place hadn't been engulfed by the fire. ”

"This hellish wildfire, it's spreading so fast."

It is impossible to break through, Qian Qixue made a quick decision.

"Let's go, maybe there are other routes, I remember on the map, there is another way to leave here."

However, God seems to love to play cruel jokes with them.

The other road was blocked, and the fire was raging, mocking them mercilessly.

At this point, they had no way out, and Qian Qixue and the others could only find a place on high ground to make plans.

Although the fire has not yet spread, the way out has been engulfed by the fire, and they are already in prison.

Now the mountain wind is howling, and it is a tailwind, and it is a matter of time before the mountain fire burns.

Qian Qixue and the others couldn't help but fall into deep despair.

They can't leave, and their only hope for survival is to wait for help to arrive.

But there was a constant sound of electricity coming from the walkie-talkie, and it was impossible to contact the outside world.

Qian Qixue had no choice but to put down the walkie-talkie, and couldn't bear to tell everyone the cruel truth, "There is no signal on the mountain, and we are completely out of touch." ”

Now that they are trapped here, they have long deviated from their original route, and there is no signal, so the people below the mountain cannot contact them at all.

Even if you want to carry out rescue, in this vast sea of fire, you are undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, and now the situation is still so dangerous, which makes it even more difficult to rescue.

What I am most afraid of is that those people under the mountain think that they died heroically because they can't be contacted.

According to Qian Qixue's experience in firefighting for many years, in this situation, even if the people under the mountain want to save them, they can't save them.

Others apparently understand this, too.

"My daughter-in-law has just given birth to a child, I haven't been able to take a look, as long as I think that the child has just been shot and there is no father, they are orphans and widows, what can I do in the future."

"My mother is also seriously ill in bed, before leaving, I just wanted to be able to see me again, but I didn't expect that now, I want to leave before her, it's really unfilial."

"My parents are still cooking at home and waiting for me to come back, thinking that they will take a vacation after this mission and then take them on a good trip."

The dignified seven-foot man was choked up at this moment, and his eyes were red.

None of the people present had a wife and a mother.

Even the youngest is in his early 20s, so he lets his parents send white-haired people to black-haired people.

When it comes to sadness, everyone is already teary-eyed.

"I want to write down my last words, and I have a lot of things to say to my family."

The companion next to him stopped him, showing a self-deprecating smile, "Don't waste your efforts, there is nothing under the fire, even if your last words are written, I am afraid they will be turned into ashes." ”

The man showed a decadent expression, his tone was depressed, and he cried and laughed: "Yes, they can't see it at all, maybe we are all burned to charcoal, and we can't tell who is who." ”

They had seen many of the victims in the fire before, burned only bones, entangled with each other, and they had to be tested to distinguish them.

All were in despair.

Waiting for death to come is an extraordinarily long and painful thing, especially when it is consumed by fire, and this way of dying is especially painful.

Seeing the raging fire not far away wantonly devouring everything around them, it was about to be their turn.

And this place is the last place where everyone's bones are buried.

However, just when Qian Qixue and others closed their eyes and waited for death.

The reddish sky, which had been burned by the fire, suddenly became overcast.

"Why did the sky suddenly get overcast?"

Qian Qixue slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, a little dazed.

"yes, why is it suddenly getting dark."

The others also looked up one after another, and at some point, the thin clouds suddenly became thicker, and they all converged in one place.

"Strange! How suddenly so many clouds. ”

Obviously, when they saw it before, there was only a thin piece.

An unlikely conjecture appeared in Qian Qixue's mind, but it was quickly denied.

"Impossible, the meteorological staff clearly said that it will not rain for the next few days."

But the weather forecast isn't always accurate.

In the originally dark and desperate pupils, a faint flame emerged.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a dull sound came from the sky not far away, from far and near, attracting everyone's attention.

"Is this thunder?"

Someone asked uncertainly.

Looking overhead, the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and they had faded their white and harmless appearance, turning into a darker color, gloomy and pressing down on the sky.

The clouds were thick and the sky was low, and the inky color completely obscured the tongue of fire.

The originally burning red sky is now only dark, and it seems that even the original arrogance of the mountain fire has been suppressed, as if it is afraid of something.

In the thick clouds, an even more terrifying existence is brewing.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap exploded, the clouds moved in all directions, the dark clouds began to roll continuously, and purple lightning pierced the dark sky with an unstoppable meaning.

With lightning speed, a huge hole was torn between the steamers of heaven and earth, and all the heat poured down, and all of them were dispersed.

The thunder was deafening, announcing its existence, as if it also meant that the era of wildfires was about to retreat.

Inside the dark clouds, it can be seen that the thunder snake is waving and rushing, opening its teeth and dancing its claws, and the blazing fire is also set off like a firefly, which is not the same.

The fiery red color of heaven and earth has been replaced by purple!

The lightning and thunder roared, as if the two armies were fighting, and the swords and swords were very fierce

Because Qian Qixue is located in a relatively high place and has a relatively wide field of vision, such a magnificent and spectacular scene hits them directly in front of the door and even in the heart.

Such lightning is rare!

It was as if the whole world was drowned in a sea of thunder and lightning.

As the thunder and lightning continued to fall, it seemed to be falling towards the same place with a target, but there was no need to worry, it would slash towards them.

At the same time, the air has finally eased due to the high temperature and the heat of the wildfires for several days.

I don't know if it's the illusion of Qian Qixue and others, but they can feel the wet tide.

Qian Qixue hurriedly took off his mask, and a drop of rain fell on his face.

It's definitely not an illusion, such a coolness is too real, like manna after a long drought!

The thunder was incessant, and finally a huge hole was broken in the sky, and the rain poured down.

Heavy rain fell on the flames, making a sizzling sound.

"It's raining!"

"It's finally raining!"

Qian Qixue roared, tears mixed with rain fell, this time it was finally not evaporated by the high temperature, their protective clothing was soaked by the rain, and the whole person was wet.

But everyone was very happy, dancing in the rain.

"Great, we're saved!"

In the pouring rain, the group was as happy as a child.

Although it is uncertain whether the heavy rain will be able to extinguish the wildfire, at least their lives have been saved.

The wildfires that had spread over were slowly receding because of the heavy rains.

Qian Qixue wiped his tears, "Let's go, let's leave quickly, there are more important things waiting for us to do!" ”

The group nodded, and the heavy rain brought hope to all.

At this moment, the villagers at the foot of the mountain are preparing to leave by car.

Hu Xiaocao stopped.

Finally, I reluctantly looked at the mountain.

The village chief didn't have to urge: "Xiaocao, don't look at it, let's leave quickly, time can't be delayed." ”

Hu Xiaocao was about to retract his gaze, but his eyes suddenly lit up, "Grandpa Mountain God, he has appeared!" ”

Everyone also looked over, only to see that the sky, which was originally clear, was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Without warning, the sky was overcast, followed by the rumbling of thunder, as if the ground was shaking

Then a torrential downpour of rain followed.
